After his time in Missouri, Schube joined the Pennsylvania Family Institute, where he worked in litigation and legislative advocacy on issues related to religious liberty and pro-life policy. He frequently appeared before local government bodies to challenge municipal ordinances he argued were unconstitutional, particularly those involving counseling restrictions.

He later served at the Fairness Center, where he litigated public-sector labor law cases following the Supreme Court’s decision in Janus v. AFSCME. His work focused on protecting the rights of public employees who had opted out of union membership but were still subject to certain union practices, including disputes over dues and representation.
